Aunts (video 13min) are also a recording of a conversation by the table - ladies are talking about trivial matters. Only when we look and listen more carefully we ar able to notice that it is not two but three individuals leading this discussion. The aunts sitting by the table turn to tv set placed above, where on the screen appears the third person, also eating a dinner. The film is a warm commentary to loneliness and the aunts engagement to the lives of tv series characters.
